Children stare in awe at the ornaments and lights, Each sparkle puts a twinkle in their eyes. The cookies are in the oven, such tantalizing bites, The gifts of Christmas come in every size.
The special clothes and widened smiles are evidence complete, That something extra special waits right there, Beneath the tree of balsam in a box wrapped oh so sweet. It’s Christmas and the perfect time to share.
As children sing their songs to God in heaven up above, Let’s take the time to ponder what it means. That on that day of Jesus’ birth our greatest gift was love, A love that takes our sins away and cleans.
And so we join their voices and with hope and childlike trust. We thank our Savior for redeeming us to life. He’s crushed death’s sting, defeated sin and stomped it in the dust. With Him we now can tolerate all strife.
As I reach the end of my years, I find I have a lot of good information stored up in this old decrepit mind of mine. If I don't write it all down, it may vanish and no one will have the advantage of my thoughts. This is why this blog exists. I love the Lord, Jesus with all my heart and soul. I know I'm undeserving of all He's done for me, but I also know that His love is beyond my comprehension.
I've always wanted to write. I never kept diaries, but tucked my thoughts in my head for future reference. I use them now in creating stories, plays, poetry and my blog.
I continue to learn every day. I believe the compilation of our time spent with God will have huge affect on the way we live. I know I'm a sinner and I need a Savior. I have One through Jesus, Christ.
My book, "Stages - a memoir," is about the seven stages of life from the perspective of a woman. It addresses all the things girls and women go through in life as they travel it with Jesus, and it is available on Amazon.com.
Inspiring verses! Each generation is given a blessed task . . . share God’s greatest gift. May others come to accept and believe. Kathy, wishing you and Paul much peace and joy!

I'm a retiree in his seventies. That may not be significant to many, since there is a bunch of us Baby Boomers around. However, in the year 2,000, when I received a diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma, I expected to be dead in three to five years.
That on that day of Jesus’ birth our greatest gift was love,
A love that takes our sins away and cleans. ——- Indeed! 🥰
